TECHNICAL FIELD

Implementations of the present disclosure relate to a mapping technology of an intra prediction mode in the field of video coding, in particular to a mapping method, an encoder, a decoder and a computer storage medium.

BACKGROUND

At present, due to the introduction of Matrix-based Intra Prediction (MIP) technology, mutual mapping needs to be performed between a non-MIP mode and a MIP mode in Versatile Video Coding (VVC). Specifically, during the construction of a Most Probable Modes List (MPM) and the acquisition of a Direct Mode (DM), the MIP mode needs to be mapped to the non-MIP mode through a “MIP-conventional mapping table”. During the construction of a MIP_MPM list, a mapping from the non-MIP mode to the MIP mode needs to be performed through a “65-33 mapping table” and a “conventional-MIP mapping table”.

However, the above mapping processes are very complicated, which increases the complexity. Moreover, since both an encoding end and a decoding end need to store all tables for mapping, certain memory space is occupied. Therefore, it can be seen that the existing methods of mapping between the MIP mode and the non-MIP mode are relatively complex, which is not conducive to improving encoding and decoding rates.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The technical solutions in the implementations of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the implementations of the present disclosure. It may be understood that the specific implementations described here are only used to explain the relevant application, rather than limit the application. In addition, it should be noted that for convenience of description, only the parts related to the relevant application are shown in the drawings.

For video pictures, Affine Linear Weighted Intra Prediction proposed in the Joint Video Experts Team (JVET)-N0217 has been accepted in the latest Versatile Video Coding (VVC) (draft 5), and has been renamed as Matrix-based Intra Prediction (MIP). In this technology, different numbers of matrix-based intra prediction modes are added in the process of intra luma prediction according to different sizes of intra luma encoding and decoding blocks.

In order to capture the finer edge direction presented in natural video, in VVC, 33 intra luma prediction angle modes defined in High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) have been expanded to 65 intra luma prediction angle modes. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of arrangement of 67 prediction modes in intra prediction. As shown in FIG. 1 , arrows numbered 2-66 represent 65 intra angle prediction modes, and there are two further non-angle modes, i.e., a planar intra prediction mode Planar numbered 0 and a direct current intra prediction mode DC numbered 1. Therefore, the intra prediction process in VVC includes 2 non-angle modes and 65 angle modes. Here, these 67 prediction modes are called intra prediction modes.

In the MIP technology, luma blocks are divided into three types according to the sizes of intra luma encoding and decoding blocks. Setting the size of a luma block to be W*H, the luma blocks may be divided into three types according to the sizes of the luma blocks as follows.

Luma blocks with a size of 4×4 are first-type luma blocks, luma blocks with a size of 8×4, 4×8 or 8×8 are second-type luma blocks, and luma blocks with other sizes are third-type luma blocks.

For these three types of intra luma encoding and decoding blocks, in the MIP technology, M MIP modes are added on the basis of the 67 intra prediction modes.

For the first-type luma blocks, M=35; for the second-type luma blocks, M=19; and for the third-type luma blocks, M=11.

Specifically, the MIP technology is only used in intra luma prediction, and like the non-MIP mode, the input of MIP prediction is also data in the above line and the left column of the current block (equivalent to the current block mentioned hereinafter), and the output is a predicted value of the current block. The specific prediction process is divided into three steps: averaging, matrix vector multiplication and interpolation. That is, by performing the three-step operation on the input reconstructed luma values of adjacent pixels in the above line and the left column, the predicted luma value of the current block may be obtained.

FIG. 2 is a schematic flow chart of encoding using the MIP mode. As shown in FIG. 2 , the specific implementation is as follows:

In step 1, an averaging operation is performed on the above adjacent reference points of the current luma block to obtain a vector bdry_(top), with N values in total, and an averaging operation is performed on the left adjacent reference points of the current luma block to obtain a vector bdry_(ieft), with N values in total. When the luma block is a first-type block according to its size, N=2; and when the luma block is a second or third-type block according to its size, N=4. The vector bdry_(top) and the vector bdry_(left) form a new vector bdry_(red) for the subsequent operations.

In step 2, corresponding matrix A_(k) and offset b_(k) are acquired through the mode number k, and partial predicted values of the current block identified by cross lines in FIG. 2 are calculated through the following formula (1): Pred_(red) =A _(k)·bdry_(red) +b _(k)  (1)

In step 3, the remaining predicted values Pred_(red) in the current block are obtained by linear interpolation.

In addition, in the MIP technology-based encoding process, the encoding mode specifically used in intra prediction should be written into a compressed bitstream, and the decoding end parses the mode information to determine which of the non-MIP mode and the MIP mode is used specifically. If the non-MIP mode is used, which specific type of non-MIP mode is used is determined; and if the MIP mode is used, which specific type of MIP mode is used is determined.

It should be noted that in the intra prediction of VVC, the encoder may perform comparison of Rate Distortion cost (RDcost) among 67 non-MIP modes and M MIP modes for each luma block, and select the optimal mode (equivalent to the optimal intra prediction mode mentioned hereinafter) for encoding.

However, in the encoder and the decoder, in order to save bit overhead, MPM list-based intra prediction technology is used in VVC. FIG. 3 is a schematic flow chart of encoding using an intra mode of a MIP list. As shown in FIG. 3 , the method may include:

S301, encoding mip_flag by a conventional encoder first: if the optimal mode (equivalent to the optimal intra prediction mode mentioned hereinafter) is the MIP mode, executing S302, otherwise, executing S303;

S302, conventionally encoding 1, and executing S304; S304, constructing MIP_MPM, and executing S305; S305, mip_flag being 1, encoding mip_mpm_flag by the conventional encoder: if the optimal mode is in MIP_MPM, executing S306, otherwise, executing S307;

S306, conventionally encoding 1, and executing S308;

S308, if mip_mpm_flag is 1, encoding the position in the MIP_MPM list using a unary truncated code:

if the optimal mode ranks first in the MIP_MPM list, bypass encoding 0;

if the optimal mode ranks second in the MIP_MPM list, bypass encoding 10; and

if the optimal mode ranks third in the MIP_MPM list, bypass encoding 11; S307, if mip_mpm_flag is 0, updating the number of the optimal mode, and executing S309;

S309, renumbering all modes after removing the modes in the MIP_MPM list therefrom, and executing S310;

S310, encoding the updated number of the optimal mode using a bypass encoder, and ending.

S303, conventionally encoding 0, and executing S311;

S311, mip_flag being 0, using reference lines 0, 1 and 3 for conventional encoding, and executing S312;

S312, determining whether reference lines 1 or 3 are used, if so, executing S313, if not, executing S314;

S313, constructing MPM, and executing S321;

S314, determining whether the optimal mode is an ISP mode, if so, executing S315, if not, executing S316;

S315, encoding isp_flag by the conventional encoder: encoding the ISP mode, and executing S313;

S316, conventionally encoding 0, and executing S317;

S317, constructing MPM, and executing S318;

S318, encoding mpm_flag by the conventional encoder: determining whether the optimal mode is in MPM, if so, executing S319, if not, executing S320;

S319, conventionally encoding 1, and executing S321;

S320, conventionally encoding 0, and executing S325;

S325, updating the number of the optimal mode, renumbering all modes after removing the modes in the MPM list therefrom, and executing S326;

S326, encoding the updated number of the optimal mode with a binary truncated code, and ending.

S321, determining whether the optimal mode is Planar mode, if so, executing S322, if not, executing S323;

S322, if the optimal mode ranks first in the MPM list, the optimal mode being PLANAR mode: conventionally encoding 0, and ending.

S323, conventionally encoding 1, and executing S324;

S324, mpm_flag being 1, then encoding the position in the MPM list using a unary truncated code;

if the optimal mode ranks second in the MPM list, bypass encoding 10;

if the optimal mode ranks third in the MPM list, bypass encoding 110;

if the optimal mode ranks fourth in the MPM list, bypass encoding 1110;

if the optimal mode ranks fifth in the MPM list, bypass encoding 11110;

if the optimal mode ranks sixth in the MPM list, bypass encoding 11111.

It should be noted that since the extend reference line technology and the Intra Sub-Partitionar (ISP) technology are only used for the modes in the MPM list, when extend_ref_flag and isp_flag are both 0 (i.e., zero reference line is used and no sub-block partition is performed), there is no need to encode mpm_flag, and the position of the optimal mode in the MPM list is directly encoded.

With regard to the construction of the MPM list and MIP_MPM list, in VVC luma intra prediction, if the optimal mode selected by the current luma block is a non-MIP mode, a MPM list containing six most probable non-MIP modes needs to be constructed. If the optimal mode selected by the current luma block is a MIP mode, a MIP_MPM list containing three most probable MIP modes needs to be constructed.

Here, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of arrangement of an above adjacent picture block and a left adjacent picture block of a luma picture block of a current block. As shown in FIG. 4 , the above two lists are both derived according to the optimal modes of the above adjacent picture block (A) and the left adjacent picture block (L) of the current luma block (equivalent to the luma picture block of the current block mentioned hereinafter) shown in FIG. 4 .

Specifically, for the construction of the MPM list, in VVC intra prediction, if the optimal mode of the current luma block is a non-MIP mode, the MPM list needs to be constructed. In the process of constructing the MPM list, the non-MIP mode ABOVE corresponding to the optimal mode of the above adjacent block and the non-MIP mode LEFT corresponding to the optimal mode of the left adjacent block need to be acquired first. FIG. 5 is a schematic flow chart of an acquisition method of ABOVE and LEFT. As shown in FIG. 5 , the acquisition method may include:

S501, initializing the non-MIP mode LEFT corresponding to the optimal mode of the left adjacent block and the non-MIP mode ABOVE corresponding to the optimal mode of the above adjacent block as default values, wherein LEFT=0 and ABOVE=0, and executing S502;

S502, determining whether the left adjacent block exists, if the left adjacent block exists, executing S503, and if the left adjacent block does not exist, executing S507;

S503, determining whether the optimal mode of the left adjacent block is a MIP mode, if so, executing S505, and if not, executing S504;

S504, updating LEFT with a value of the mode of the left adjacent block, and executing S507;

S505, mapping the optimal mode through an “MIP-conventional mapping table”, and executing S506;

S506, updating LEFT with the value after mapping, and executing S507;

S507, determining whether the above adjacent block exists, and determining whether the above adjacent block is in the same Coding Tree Unit (CTU) as the current block, if so in both cases, executing S508, otherwise, ending.

S508, determining whether the optimal mode of the above adjacent block is a MIP mode, if so, executing S509, and if not, executing S511;

S509, mapping the optimal mode through the “MIP-conventional mapping table”, and executing S510;

S510, updating ABOVE with the value after mapping, and ending.

S511, updating ABOVE with the value of the mode of the above adjacent block, and ending.

After LEFT and ABOVE are acquired, the MPM list is constructed according to the following method, in which the number of Planar mode is 0, the number of DC mode is 1, the number of vertical mode is 50, and the number of horizontal mode is 18.

If LEFT and ABOVE are both non-angle modes: MPMlist={Planar,DC,VER,HOR,VER−4,VER+4}.

If one of LEFT and ABOVE is an angle mode (equivalent to the directional intra prediction mode mentioned hereinafter) and the other is a non-angle mode, MAX is set to be the mode number (i.e., the number of the angle mode) of one of them with a larger number: MPMlist={Planar,MAX,DC,MAX−1,MAX+1,MAX-2}.

If LEFT and ABOVE are both angle modes and are different, MAX is set to be the mode number of one of them with a larger number.

If a difference between LEFT and ABOVE is between 2 and 66: MPMlist={Planar,LEFT,ABOVE,DC,MAX−1,MAX+1};

otherwise, MPMlist={Planar,LEFT,ABOVE,DC,MAX−2,MAX+2}.

If LEFT and ABOVE are the same angle modes: MPMlist={Planar,LEFT,LEFT−1,LEFT+1,DC,LEFT−2}.

In addition, with regard to the construction of the MIP_MPM list, in VVC intra prediction, if the optimal mode of the current luma block is a MIP mode, the MIP_MPM list needs to be constructed. In the process of constructing the MIP_MPM list, the MIP mode ABOVE_MIP corresponding to the optimal mode of the above adjacent block and the MIP mode LEFT_MIP corresponding to the optimal mode of the left adjacent block need to be acquired first. FIG. 6 is a schematic flow chart of an acquisition method of ABOVE_MIP and LEFT_MIP. As shown in FIG. 6 , the acquisition method may include:

S601, initializing LEFT_MIP and ABOVE_MIP as a default value −1 (unavailable), wherein LEFT_MIP=−1 and ABOVE_MIP=−1, and executing S602;

S602, determining whether the left adjacent block exists, if the left adjacent block exists, executing S603, and if the left adjacent block does not exist, executing S608;

S603, determining whether the optimal mode of the left adjacent block is a MIP mode, if so, executing S604, and if not, executing S606;

S604, determining whether the type of the left adjacent block is the same as the type of the current block, if the type of the left adjacent block is the same as the type of the current block, executing S605, and if the type of the left adjacent block is different from the type of the current block, executing S608;

S605, updating LEFT_MIP with a value of the mode of the left adjacent block, and executing S608;

S606, mapping the optimal mode through a “conventional-MIP mapping table”, and executing S607;

S607, updating LEFT_MIP with a value after mapping, and executing S608;

S608, determining whether the above adjacent block exists, and determining whether the above adjacent block is in the same CTU as the current block, if so in both cases, executing S609, otherwise, ending.

S609, determining whether the optimal mode of the above adjacent block is a MIP mode, if so, executing S610, and if not, executing S612;

S610, determining whether the type of the above adjacent block is the same as the type of the current block, if the type of the above adjacent block is the same as the type of the current block, executing S611, and if the type of the above adjacent block is different from the type of the current block, ending;

S611, updating ABOVE_MIP with a value of the mode of the above adjacent block, and ending;

S612, mapping the optimal mode through the “conventional-MIP mapping table”, and executing S613;

S613, updating ABOVE_MIP with a value after mapping, and ending.

In addition, after LEFT_MIP and ABOVE_MIP are acquired, a MIP_MPM list containing three most probable MIP_MPM modes is constructed according to the following method, in which the numbers in MIP_MPM are the numbers of the MIP modes, ranging from 0 to (M−1), with the first-type luma blocks being numbered 0-34, the second-type luma blocks being numbered 0-18, and the third-type luma blocks being numbered 0-10:

if LEFT_MIP is available (being not −1), putting LEFT_MIP into MIP_MPMlist;

if ABOVE_MIP is available (being not −1), after ABOVE_MIP passes redundancy check, putting ABOVE_MIP into MIP_MPMlist; and

if LEFT_MIP is unavailable (being −1) and ABOVE_MIP is unavailable (being −1), after a default list passes redundancy check, adding the default list into MIP_MPMlist according to the type of the current block until MIP_MPMlist is complete:

the default list of the first-type luma blocks is: {17, 34, 5};

the default list of the second-type luma blocks is: {0, 7, 16}; and

the default list of the third-type luma blocks is: {1, 4, 6}.

It should be illustrated here that there is a Direct Mode (DM) using inter-component correlation in VVC chroma intra prediction process, which may use the intra prediction mode of the center position of a co-located luma block corresponding to the current luma block to perform intra prediction of a current chroma block. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of arrangement for determining a DM mode. As shown in FIG. 7 , since the MIP technology is only used in luma blocks, when the intra prediction mode at the CR position in FIG. 7 is a MIP mode, the MIP mode needs to be mapped to a non-MIP mode through the “MIP-conventional mapping table” to perform intra prediction of the current chroma block.

That is, due to the introduction of the MIP technology, in the process of intra prediction, a non-MIP mode needs be mapped to a MIP mode in constructing a MIP_MPM list, and a MIP mode needs to be mapped to a non-MIP mode in constructing a MPM list and determining a DM mode.

However, in practical application, as can be seen from FIG. 6 , mapping from a non-MIP mode to a MIP mode needs to be used in the construction process of the MIP_MPM list, and a non-MIP mode is mapped to a MIP mode specifically through the “conventional-MIP mapping table”. Specifically, 65 angle modes (No. 2-66) are first mapped to 33 angle modes (No. 2-34) through the following Table 1 (“65-33 mapping table”), and the numbers of non-angle modes remain unchanged. The “65-33 mapping table” is shown in Table 1 below:

TABLE 1 Conventional 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 mode Angle mode 0 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 Conventional 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 mode Angle mode 9 10 10 11 11 12 12 13 13 14 14 15 15 16 16 17 17 Conventional 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 49 47 48 49 50 mode Angle mode 18 18 19 19 20 20 21 21 22 22 23 23 24 24 25 25 26 Conventional 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 mode Angle mode 26 27 27 28 28 29 29 30 30 31 31 32 32 33 33 34

Then, 33 angle modes are converted into 35/19/11 MIP modes through the “conventional-MIP mapping table”. For the three types of luma blocks, three “conventional-MIP mapping tables” are shown in Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4.

TABLE 2 Angle 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 mode MIP 17 17 17 9 9 9 9 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 5 5 5 5 mode Angle 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 mode MIP 34 22 22 22 22 34 34 34 34 34 34 34 26 26 26 26 26 mode

TABLE 4 Angle 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 mode MIP 5 1 3 3 3 3 0 0 0 4 4 4 5 1 1 1 1 1 mode Angle 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 mode MIP 6 6 6 6 6 10 10 9 9 9 9 9 8 8 8 8  8 mode

In addition, mapping from MIP mode to non-MIP mode needs to be used in the construction of MPM list and the acquisition of DM mode. Specifically, 35/19/11 MIP modes are mapped to 67 conventional modes through the “MIP-conventional mapping table”. For the three types of luma blocks, three “MIP-conventional mapping tables” are shown in Table 5, Table 6 and Table 7.

TABLE 5 MIP mode 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Conventional 0 18 18 0 18 0 12 0 18 2 18 12 18 18 1 18 18 0 mode MIP mode 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 Conventional 0 50 0 50 0 56 0 50 66 50 56 50 50 1 50 50 50 mode

TABLE 6 MIP mode 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Conventional 0 1 0 1 0 22 18 18 1 0 1 0 1 0 44 0 50 1 0 mode

TABLE 7 MIP mode 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Conventional 1 1 1 1 18 0 1 0 1 50 0 mode

It should be noted that the conventional modes in Table 1-Table 7 above are equivalent to the non-MIP modes in the implementations of the present disclosure.

After a video picture is processed by the parts in the video coding system 800, such as the transform and quantization module 801, the intra estimation module 802, the intra prediction module 803, the motion compensation module 804, the motion estimation module 805, the deblocking filtering and SAO filtering module 808 and the header information coding and CABAC module 809, a bitstream of the video picture is output. The bitstream is input into the video decoding system 900 and processed by the parts in the video decoding system 900, such as the header information decoding and CABAC decoding module 901, the inverse transform and inverse quantization module 902, the intra prediction module 903 and the motion compensation module 904, and is finally restored to the original video picture.

The “MIP-conventional mapping tables” and “conventional-MIP mapping tables” mentioned above are mainly used in the intra prediction module 803 and the header information coding and CABAC coding module 809 in video coding, and the intra prediction module 903 and the header information coding and CABAC decoding module 909 in video decoding, and act simultaneously on the encoding end and the decoding end.

On the basis of the introduction of MIP technology, in VVC, mapping between non-MIP modes and MIP modes needs to be performed. Specifically, in the process of constructing a MIP_MPM list, mapping from non-MIP modes to MIP modes needs to be performed through the “65-33 mapping table” and “conventional-MIP mapping table”; and in the processes of constructing a MPM list and acquiring a DM mode, MIP modes need to be mapped to non-MIP modes through the “MIP-conventional mapping table”. However, the mapping processes are very complicated, which increases the complexity. At the same time, since all tables needed for mapping have to be stored at both the encoding end and the decoding end, certain memory space is occupied.

An implementation of the present disclosure provides a mapping method. FIG. 10 is a schematic flow chart of an alternative mapping method according to an implementation of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 10 , the method may be used in an encoder or a decoder, and the method may include:

S1001, determining an intra prediction mode used for encoding or decoding a current block;

S1002, mapping, if the intra prediction mode is a MIP mode, the MIP mode to a first non-MIP mode; and

S1003, mapping, if the intra prediction mode is a non-MIP mode, the non-MIP mode to a second MIP mode,

wherein non-MIP modes include a direct current intra prediction mode DC, a planar intra prediction mode Planar and a directional intra prediction mode; the first non-MIP mode is one of the non-MIP modes preset before encoding or decoding the current block, and the second MIP mode is one of MIP modes preset before encoding or decoding the current block.

The directional prediction mode may be 65 angle prediction modes numbered 2-66.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned current block may be called the current to-be-encoded picture block when the encoder executes encoding, and may be called the current to-be-decoded picture block when the decoder executes decoding, which is not specifically limited in the implementations of the present disclosure.

In view of the complexity of mapping, in order to reduce the complexity of mapping to improve the encoding and decoding rates, when mapping is performed between MIP modes and non-MIP modes, for example, when mapping is performed from MIP modes to non-MIP modes, the MIP modes are directly mapped to pre-specified modes in the MIP modes, or when mapping is performed from non-MIP modes to MIP modes, the non-MIP modes are directly mapped to pre-specified modes in the MIP modes, thus reducing encoding and decoding complexity caused by multiple queries using mapping tables and improving encoding and decoding rates.

It should be noted that in practical application, mapping from MIP modes to non-MIP modes may include mapping from MIP modes to non-MIP modes during determination of the DM mode, and may also include mapping from MIP modes to non-MIP modes in constructing the MPM list; and mapping from non-MIP modes to MIP modes may be mapping from non-MIP modes to MIP modes at the time of constructing the MIP_MPM list. The above mapping methods may be described below according to three usage scenarios.

First, in the process of determining the DM mode, in order to determine the intra prediction mode of co-located chroma components, in an alternative implementation, S1002 may include:

mapping the intra prediction mode for encoding or decoding an luma component of the current block to the first non-MIP mode, when determining that the intra prediction mode for encoding or decoding the luma component of the current block belongs to MIP modes; and

determining the first non-MIP mode as the intra prediction mode for encoding or decoding the chroma component of the current block, to encode or decode the chroma component of the current block.

Here, in practical application, if the intra prediction mode of the luma component is known and the intra prediction mode belongs to MIP modes, mapping is no longer performed through the “MIP-conventional mapping table”, and the DM mode is directly acquired as the first non-MIP mode, for example, the first non-MIP mode may be Planar or DC, and the chroma component of the current block is predicted.

At the time of constructing the MPM list, in order to reduce the complexity of mapping, in an alternative implementation, S1002 may include:

acquiring a left adjacent picture block and an above adjacent picture block of the current block from encoded or decoded picture blocks of the current block;

when the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block belongs to MIP modes, mapping the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block to a first non-MIP mode, and updating a value of the non-MIP mode LEFT corresponding to the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block with a value of the first non-MIP mode;

when the above adjacent picture block is in the same CTU as the current block and the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block belongs to MIP modes, mapping the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block to a first non-MIP mode, and updating a value of the non-MIP mode ABOVE corresponding to the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block with a value of the first non-MIP mode; and

constructing a MPM list according to the value of LEFT and the value of ABOVE to encode or decode the current block.

Specifically, first, the left adjacent picture block and the above adjacent picture block are acquired, and whether the left adjacent picture block exists is determined first. When the left adjacent picture block does not exist, the initial default value 0 of LEFT is maintained. If the left adjacent picture block exists and the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block belongs to MIP modes, in order to reduce the complexity of mapping, here, no mapping table is used for completing the mapping, instead, the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block is directly mapped to the first non-MIP mode, and the value of LEFT is updated with the value of the first non-MIP mode. In this way, the value of LEFT may be determined. The value of LEFT obtained here may be the initial default value, or may be a value obtained after updating the initial default value.

Then whether the above adjacent picture block exists is determined. If the above adjacent picture block exists and is in the same CTU as the current block, and the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block belongs to MIP modes, at this time, mapping is needed; and in order to reduce the complexity of mapping, no mapping table is used here for completing mapping, but the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block is directly mapped to the first non-MIP mode, and the value of ABOVE is updated with the value of the first non-MIP mode. In this way, the value of ABOVE may be determined. The value of ABOVE obtained here may be the initial default value, or may be a value obtained after updating the initial default value.

Finally, the MPM list is constructed with the value of LEFT and the value of ABOVE.

In addition, at the time of constructing the MPM list, in order to reduce the complexity of mapping, in an alternative implementation, S1002 may include:

acquiring a left adjacent picture block and an above adjacent picture block of the current block from encoded or decoded picture blocks of the current block;

when the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block belongs to MIP modes, prohibiting mapping and maintaining the value of LEFT as a default value;

when the above adjacent picture block is in the same CTU as the current block and the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block belongs to MIP modes, prohibiting mapping and maintaining the value of ABOVE as a default value; and

constructing a MPM list according to the value of LEFT and the value of ABOVE, to encode or decode the current block.

Here, after the left adjacent picture block and the above adjacent picture block are acquired, when it is determined that the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block belongs to MIP modes, no mapping table is used, moreover, the MIP mode is not mapped, that is, mapping is prohibited, then the value of LEFT is still the initial default value 0, this is equivalent to mapping the MIP mode to Planar with the first non-MIP mode of 0. Similarly, when it is determined that the above adjacent picture block is in the same CTU as the current block and the optimal intra prediction mode belongs to MIP modes, mapping is prohibited, and this is equivalent to mapping the MIP mode to Planar with the first non-MIP mode of 0, then the value of ABOVE is still the initial default value 0.

Finally, the MPM list is constructed with the value of LEFT and the value of ABOVE.

In addition, for the cases where mapping is not needed, in an alternative implementation, after acquiring the left adjacent picture block and the above adjacent picture block of the current block from encoded or decoded picture blocks of the current block, and before constructing a MPM list according to the value of LEFT and the value of ABOVE to encode or decode the current block, the method further includes:

updating the value of LEFT with the value of the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block, when the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block belongs to non-MIP modes; and

updating the value of ABOVE with the value of the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block, when the above adjacent picture block is in the same CTU as the current block and the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block belongs to non-MIP modes.

That is, when the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block belongs to non-MIP modes, there is no need to perform mapping, and the value of LEFT may be updated directly with the value of the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block. Similarly, when the above adjacent picture block is in the same CTU as the current block and the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block belongs to non-MIP modes, there is no need to perform mapping, and the value of ABOVE may be updated directly with the value of the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block.

Taking the case as an example where the first mode is the Planar mode, FIG. 11 is a schematic flow chart of an alternative example of acquiring LEFT and ABOVE according to an implementation of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 11 , the method may include:

S1101, initializing LEFT and ABOVE as default value 0, LEFT=0, ABOVE=0, and executing S1102;

S1102, determining whether the left adjacent block (equivalent to the above left adjacent picture block) exists, if the left adjacent block exists, executing S1103, and if the left adjacent block does not exist, executing S1106;

S1103, determining whether the optimal mode (equivalent to the above optimal intra prediction mode) of the left adjacent block is a MIP mode, if so, executing S1105, otherwise, executing S1104;

S1104, updating the value of LEFT with the value of the left adjacent block (equivalent to the above left adjacent picture block) at which the optimal mode is a non-MIP mode, and executing S1106;

S1105, updating the value of LEFT to 0, and executing S1106;

S1106, determining whether the above adjacent block exists, and determining whether the above adjacent block is in the same CTU as the current block (equivalent to the above current block), if the above adjacent block exists and is in the same CTU as the current block, executing S1107, otherwise, ending.

S1107, determining whether the optimal mode of the above adjacent block is a MIP mode, if so, executing S1108, and if not, executing S1109;

S1108, updating the value of ABOVE to 0, and ending.

S1109, updating the value of ABOVE with the value of the optimal mode of the above adjacent block, and ending.

Since the default values of LEFT and ABOVE are 0 in the construction process of the MPM list, FIG. 11 may be modified to obtain FIG. 12 . FIG. 12 is a schematic flow chart of another alternative example of acquiring LEFT and ABOVE according to an implementation of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 12 , the method may include:

S1201, initializing LEFT and ABOVE to the default value 0, LEFT=0, ABOVE=0, and executing S1202;

S1202, determining whether the left adjacent block exists, if the left adjacent block exists, executing S1203, and if the left adjacent block does not exist, executing S1205;

S1203, determining whether the optimal mode of the left adjacent block is a MIP mode, if so, executing S1205, and if not, executing S1204;

S1204, updating the value of LEFT with the value of the optimal mode of the left adjacent block, and executing S1205;

S1205, determining whether the above adjacent block exists, and determining whether the above adjacent block is in the same CTU as the current block, if the above adjacent block exists and is in the same CTU as the current block, executing S1206, otherwise, ending.

S1206, determining whether the optimal mode of the above adjacent block is a MIP mode, if so, ending, and if not, executing S1207;

S1207, updating the value of ABOVE with the value of the optimal mode of the above adjacent block, and ending.

At the time of constructing the MIP_MPM list, in order to reduce the complexity of mapping, in an alternative implementation, S1003 may include:

acquiring the left adjacent picture block and the above adjacent picture block of the current block from encoded or decoded picture blocks of the current block;

when the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block belongs to non-MIP modes, mapping the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block to a second MIP mode, and updating the value of the MIP mode LEFT_MIP corresponding to the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block with the value of the second MIP mode;

when the above adjacent picture block is in the same CTU as the current block and the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block belongs to non-MIP modes, mapping the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block to a second MIP mode, and updating the value of the MIP mode ABOVE_MIP corresponding to the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block with the value of the second MIP mode; and constructing the MIP_MPM list according to the value of LEFT_MIP and the value of ABOVE_MIP, to encode or decode the current block.

Here, after acquiring the left adjacent picture block and the above adjacent picture block, when it is first determined that the left adjacent picture block belongs to non-MIP modes, in order to avoid using a mapping table, the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block is mapped to the second MIP mode, and the value of LEFT_MIP is updated with the value of the second MIP mode. Similarly, when it is determined that the above adjacent picture block is in the same CTU as the current block and the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block belongs to non-MIP modes, the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block is mapped to the second MIP mode, and the value of ABOVE_MIP is updated with the value of the second MIP mode. Finally, the MIP_MPM list is constructed using the value of LEFT_MIP and the value of ABOVE_MIP to implement encoding or decoding.

In this way, the non-MIP mode is directly mapped to the pre-specified MIP mode without using a complicated mapping table, which reduces the complexity of mapping and therefore improves encoding and decoding rates.

At the time of constructing the MIP_MPM list, in order to reduce the complexity of mapping, in an alternative implementation, S1003 may include:

acquiring a left adjacent picture block and an above adjacent picture block of the current block from encoded or decoded picture blocks of the current block;

when the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block belongs to non-MIP modes, determining a second MIP mode according to the type of the current block, mapping the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block to the second MIP mode, and updating the value of LEFT_MIP with the value of the second MIP mode;

when the above adjacent picture block is in the same CTU as the current block and the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block belongs to the non-MIP modes, determining a second MIP mode according to the type of the current block, mapping the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block to the second MIP mode, and updating the value of ABOVE_MIP with the value of the second MIP mode; and

constructing the MIP_MPM list according to the value of LEFT_MIP and the value of ABOVE_MIP, to encode or decode the current block.

That is, after acquiring the left adjacent picture block and the above adjacent picture block, if it is determined that the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block belongs to non-MIP modes, mapping is needed at this time, and the second MIP mode may be determined first according to the type of the current block. For example, when the current block belongs to the first-type luma blocks, there is a corresponding MIP mode; when the current block belongs to the second-type luma blocks, there is a corresponding MIP mode; and when the current block belongs to the third-type luma blocks, there is a corresponding MIP mode. Thus, the corresponding MIP mode, i.e., the second MIP mode, may be determined first according to the type of the current block, and then the non-MIP mode is mapped to the determined corresponding second MIP mode, and the value of LEFT_MIP is updated with the value of the corresponding second MIP mode. The method for the above adjacent picture block is similar to that for the left adjacent picture block, which will not be repeated here.

Finally, the MIP_MPM list is constructed using the value of LEFT_MIP and the value of ABOVE_MIP to complete encoding and decoding of the current block.

At the time of constructing the MIP_MPM list, in order to reduce the complexity of mapping, in an alternative implementation, S1003 may include:

acquiring a left adjacent picture block and an above adjacent picture block of the current block from encoded or decoded picture blocks of the current block;

when the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block belongs to non-MIP modes, prohibiting mapping and maintaining the value of LEFT_MIP as the default value;

when the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block belongs to the non-MIP modes, prohibiting mapping and maintaining the value of ABOVE_MIP as the default value; and

constructing the MIP_MPM list according to the value of LEFT_MIP and the value of ABOVE_MIP, to encode or decode the current block.

Here, after obtaining the left adjacent picture block and the above adjacent picture block, if it is determined that the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block belongs to the non-MIP modes, mapping is directly prohibited at this time, and since the default value of LEFT_MIP is −1, LEFT_MIP is made to be equal to −1; similarly, for the above adjacent picture block, when mapping is needed, mapping is prohibited and LEFT_MIP is made to be equal to −1, so that both LEFT_MIP and LEFT_MIP are unavailable, then, according to the type of the current block, a default list may be added to MIP_MPM list after passing redundancy check until MIP_MPM list is complete, thus constructing the MIP_MPM list. In this way, the complexity of encoding and decoding caused by adaptation to the mapping table is avoided.

In addition, at the time of constructing the MIP_MPM list, for the case where mapping is not needed, in an alternative implementation, after acquiring the left adjacent picture block and the above adjacent picture block of the current block from the encoded or decoded picture blocks of the current block, and before constructing the MIP_MPM list according to the value of LEFT_MIP and the value of ABOVE_MIP to encode or decode the current block, the method further includes:

when the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block belongs to MIP modes and the type of the left adjacent picture block is the same as that of the current block, updating the value of LEFT_MIP with the value of the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block; and

when the above adjacent picture block is in the same CTU as the current block, and the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block belongs to MIP modes, and the type of the above adjacent picture block is the same as that of the current block, updating the value of ABOVE_MIP with the value of the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block.

That is, when the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block belongs to MIP modes, and the type of the left adjacent picture block is the same as that of the current block, mapping is not needed, and the value of LEFT_MIP is updated directly with the value of the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block. Similarly, for the above adjacent picture block, when mapping is not needed, the value of ABOVE_MIP is updated directly with the value of the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block.

In this way, the updated LEFT_MIP value and the updated ABOVE_MIP value may be obtained to construct the MIP_MPM list.

In addition, at the time of constructing the MIP_MPM list, for the case where mapping is not needed, in an alternative implementation, after acquiring the left adjacent picture block and the above adjacent picture block of the current block from the encoded or decoded picture blocks of the current block, and before constructing the MIP_MPM list according to the value of LEFT_MIP and the value of ABOVE_MIP to encode or decode the current block, the method further includes:

when the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block belongs to MIP modes and the type of the left adjacent picture block is different from that of the current block, updating the value of LEFT_MIP to the value of a second MIP mode or maintaining the value of LEFT_MIP as the default value; and

when the above adjacent picture block is in the same CTU as the current block, the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block belongs to MIP modes and the type of the above adjacent picture block is different from that of the current block, updating the value of ABOVE_MIP to the value of the second MIP mode or maintaining the value of ABOVE_MIP as the default value.

Here, for the left adjacent picture block, when the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block belongs to MIP modes, and the type of the left adjacent picture block is different from that of the current block, mapping is not needed. Here, the value of LEFT_MIP may be updated to the value of the second MIP mode, or the value of LEFT_MIP may be maintained as the default value, to realize updating of the value of LEFT_MIP, which is beneficial to the construction of the MIP_MPM list. Similarly, for the above adjacent picture block, when the above adjacent picture block is in the same CTU as the current block, and the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block belongs to MIP modes, and the type of the above adjacent picture block is different from that of the current block, mapping is not needed. Here, the value of ABOVE_MIP may be updated to the value of the second MIP mode, or the value of ABOVE_MIP may be maintained as the default value to realize updating of the value of ABOVE_MIP, which is beneficial to the construction of the MIP_MPM list.

Taking the case as an example where the second mode is Planar mode, FIG. 13 is a schematic flow chart of an alternative example of acquiring LEFT_MIP and ABOVE_MIP according to an implementation of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 13 , the method may include:

S1301, initializing LEFT_MIP and ABOVE_MIP as default value −1, LEFT_MIP=−1 and ABOVE_MIP=−1, and executing S1302;

S1302, determining whether the left adjacent block exists, if the left adjacent block exists, executing S1303, and if the left adjacent block does not exist, executing S1307;

S1303, determining whether the optimal mode of the left adjacent block is a MIP mode, if so, executing S1304, and if not, executing S1306.

S1304, determining whether the type of the left adjacent block is the same as the type of the current block, if the type of the left adjacent block is the same as the type of the current block, executing S1305, and if the type of the left adjacent block is different from the type of the current block, executing S1307;

S1305, updating the value of LEFT_MIP with the value of the optimal mode of the left adjacent block, and executing S1307;

S1306, updating the value of LEFT_MIP to 0, and executing S1307;

S1307, determining whether the above adjacent block exists, and determining whether the above adjacent block is in the same CTU as the current block, if the above adjacent block exists and is in the same CTU as the current block, executing S1308, otherwise, ending.

S1308, determining whether the optimal mode of the above adjacent block is a MIP mode, if so, executing S1309, and if not, executing S1311;

S1309, determining whether the type of the above adjacent block is the same as the type of the current block, if the type of the above adjacent block is the same as the type of the current block, executing S1310, and if the type of the above adjacent block is different from the type of the current block, ending.

S1310, updating the value of ABOVE_MIP with the value of the optimal mode of the above adjacent block, and ending.

S1311, updating the value of ABOVE_MIP to 0, and ending.

Still taking the case as an example where the second mode is Planar mode, FIG. 14 is a schematic flow chart of another alternative example of acquiring LEFT_MIP and ABOVE_MIP according to an implementation of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 14 , the method may include:

S1401, initializing LEFT_MIP and ABOVE_MIP as default value −1, LEFT_MIP=−1 and ABOVE_MIP=−1, and executing S1402;

S1402, determining whether the left adjacent block exists, if the left adjacent block exists, executing S1403, and if the left adjacent block does not exist, executing S1407;

S1403, determining whether the optimal mode of the left adjacent block is a MIP mode, if so, executing S1404, and if not, executing S1406;

S1404, determining whether the type of the left adjacent block is the same as the type of the current block, if the type of the left adjacent block is the same as the type of the current block, executing S1405, and if the type of the left adjacent block is different from the type of the current block, executing S1406;

S1405, updating the value of LEFT_MIP with the value of the optimal mode of the left adjacent block, and executing S1407;

S1406, updating the value of LEFT_MIP to 0, and executing S1407;

S1407, determining whether the above adjacent block exists, and determining whether the above adjacent block is in the same CTU as the current block, if the above adjacent block exists and is in the same CTU as the current block, executing S1408, otherwise, ending.

S1408, determining whether the optimal mode of the above adjacent block is a MIP mode, if so, executing S1409, and if not, executing S1411;

S1409, determining whether the type of the above adjacent block is the same as the type of the current block, if the type of the above adjacent block is the same as the type of the current block, executing S1410, and if the type of the above adjacent block is different from the type of the current block, executing S1411;

S1410, updating the value of ABOVE_MIP is updated with the value of the optimal mode of the above adjacent block, and ending.

S1411, updating the value of ABOVE_MIP to 0, and ending.

In addition, at the time of constructing the MIP_MPM list, for the case where mapping is not needed, in an alternative implementation, after acquiring the left adjacent picture block and the above adjacent picture block of the current block from the encoded or decoded picture blocks of the current block, and before constructing the MIP_MPM list according to the value of LEFT_MIP and the value of ABOVE_MIP to encode or decode the current block, the method further includes:

when the optimal intra prediction mode of the left adjacent picture block belongs to MIP modes, and the type of the left adjacent picture block is different from that of the current block, determining a second MIP mode according to the type of the left adjacent picture block and the type of the current block, and updating the value of LEFT_MIP with the value of the second MIP mode; and

when the above adjacent picture block is in the same CTU as the current block, and the optimal intra prediction mode of the above adjacent picture block belongs to MIP modes, and the type of the left adjacent picture block is different from the type of the current block, determining the second MIP mode according to the type of the above adjacent picture block and the type of the current block, and updating the value of ABOVE_MIP with the value of the second MIP mode.

Here, for the scenarios where mapping is not needed, the second MIP mode may be determined according to a combination type of the type of the left adjacent picture block and the type of the current block. For example, when the left adjacent picture block is a first-type luma block and the current block is a second-type luma value, the corresponding second mode is Planar mode. When the left adjacent picture block is a first-type luma block and the current block is a third-type luma value, the corresponding second MIP mode is DC mode. Similarly, the values of the second MIP modes corresponding to different types of combinations may be determined in advance to determine the second MIP mode, and then when mapping is not needed, the value of LEFT_MIP and the value of ABOVE_MIP are updated with the value of the second MIP mode.

It should be noted that the mapping used in the DM mode and in the construction of the MPM list and the mapping used in the construction of the MIP_MPM list may be combined into multiple encoding and decoding methods, which all belong to the scope protected by the present disclosure. Here, the combination manner is not elaborated in the implementations of the present disclosure.

In addition, the mapping used in the DM mode and in the construction of the MPM list and the mapping used in the construction of the MIP_MPM list in the implementations of the present disclosure may be applied not only to an encoder, but also to a decoder, which will not be described in detail here.

An implementation of the present disclosure provides a mapping method, which may be applied to an encoder or a decoder. The method may include: determining an intra prediction mode used at the time of encoding or decoding a current block; mapping, if the intra prediction mode is a MIP mode, the MIP mode to a first non-MIP mode; and mapping, if the intra prediction mode is a non-MIP mode, the non-MIP mode to a second MIP mode, wherein the non-MIP mode includes a direct current intra prediction mode, a planar intra prediction mode and a directional intra prediction mode, the first non-MIP mode is one of the non-MIP modes preset before encoding or decoding the current block, and the second MIP mode is one of the MIP modes preset before encoding or decoding the current block. That is, in the implementations of the present disclosure, the type of intra prediction mode is known by determining the intra prediction mode used at the time of encoding or decoding the current block. When the intra prediction mode used is a MIP mode, the MIP mode is mapped to one of the preset non-MIP modes, and when the intra prediction mode used is a MIP mode, the MIP mode is mapped to one of preset MIP modes. In this way, query in multiple mapping tables in the existing mapping methods is avoided, and there is no need to store all the tables needed for mapping, which saves memory space, reduces the complexity of mapping between the MIP mode and the conventional mode, can quickly realize the mapping between the MIP mode and the conventional mode, and improves the encoding and decoding rates.

Implementation II

Based on the same inventive concept, FIG. 15 is a schematic structural diagram of an alternative encoder according to an implementation of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 15 , the encoder according to an implementation of the present disclosure may include a first mapping module 151.

a first determining module 151 configured to determine an intra prediction mode used for encoding a current block;

a first mapping module 152 configured to map, if the intra prediction mode is a MIP mode, the MIP mode to a first non-MIP mode; and

a second mapping module 153 configured to map, if the intra prediction mode is a non-MIP mode, the non-MIP mode to a second MIP mode,

wherein non-MIP modes include a direct current intra prediction mode, a planar intra prediction mode and a directional intra prediction mode; the first non-MIP mode is one of the non-MIP modes preset before encoding the current block, and the second MIP mode is one of the MIP modes preset before encoding the current block.

Further, in an implementation of the present disclosure, the first mapping module 152 is specifically configured to:

map an intra prediction mode for encoding an luma component of the current block to a first non-MIP mode, when determining that the intra prediction mode for encoding the luma component of the current block belongs to MIP modes; and

determine the first non-MIP mode as the intra prediction mode for encoding the chroma component of the current block, to encode the chroma component of the current block.
